A new, efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives with a wide range of substituents in good to excellent yields has been developed. The synthesis was performed by the one-pot three-component [3+2]cycloaddition reaction between aldehyde, hydroxylamine and sodium azide in the presence of Cu/C. The reaction probably proceeds by the in situ formation of nitriles followed by successive [3+2]cycloaddition with sodium azide. A variety of aldehydes were used to obtain the corresponding tetrazoles. The catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and reused at least five times without significant loss of catalytic activity. The use of this method offers additional advantages for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives, including the easy availability of starting materials, mild conditions, experimental simplicity and good yields.New di- or triamide organocatalysts derived from (L)-proline were synthesized and successfully used in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction of aliphatic ketones and aromatic aldehydes in water at 0oC in the presence of benzoic acid as co-catalyst. (S)-methyl-2-((S)-3-hydroxy-2-((S)-3-pyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)propanamido)-3-phenylpropanoate (7c) as organocatalyst showed best results under these reaction conditions, and good diastereoselectivities (up to 99%), enantioselectivities (up to 98%) and yields (up to 91%) were observed.Trihalomethanes (THMs) are formed during the water chlorination process through the reaction between chlorine and the organic materials. In this research, montmorillonite (MMT) and its modified form were used to remove the THMs from the water. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/byl719.html The optimum conditions for the best adsorption capacity were evaluated using the Taguchi design of experiments. The result of comparing MMT with its modified sulfonated form (SMMT) indicated that SMMT is a more effective adsorbent than MMT. The evaluations showed that the optimum conditions for the THMs removal occur at 20 °C, 10 mg of adsorbent, 1 mg/L of THMs concentration, and 120 min for the adsorption time. The maximum adsorption capacity of CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl, and CHBr3 was achieved 0.49, 0.45, 0.43, and 0.38 mg/g at C0=0.10 mg/L; 1.71, 1.62, 1.56, and 1.45 mg/g at C0=0.50 mg/L; and 4.43, 4.35, 4.23, and 3.67 mg/g for C0=5.00 mg/L, respectively. The THMs adsorption was compared between SMMT, powdered activated carbon (PAC), and granular activated carbon (GAC) and the results showed that SMMT is as effective as PAC and better than GAC and its production cost is lower than for the activated carbon.The present work is directed toward preparation and structural characterization of two novel Cu(I) arylsulfonate ?-complexes with 3-allyl-2-thiohydantoin, namely [Cu2(Hath)4](C6H5SO3)2 (1) and [Cu2(Hath)4](p-CH3C6H4SO3)2?2H2O (2) (Hath = 3-allyl-2-thiohydantoin), obtained by the means of alternating current electrochemical synthesis and studied with X-ray diffraction method. In both structures, the inner coordination sphere is represented by the cationic dimer [Cu2(Hath)4]2+ with one crystallographically independent copper(I) atom which has a trigonal pyramidal coordination environment formed by three Hath thiogroup S atoms and double C=C bond of its allyl group. [Cu2(Hath)4]2+ fragments in both coordination compounds are very similar, despite some divergences such as a big difference in Cu?S distance to the apical S atom (3.0374(8) ? in 1 and 2.7205(9) ? in 2). This difference was explained by the impact of the system of weak interactions, which are quite different.In this study, a rapid and efficient method has been used for the extraction and determination of morin and quercetin in fruit juice samples based on air-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic droplet and HPLC-UV. The effects of 7 important parameters on the extraction recovery were examined and were optimized by Plackett-Burman design and Central Composite design. According to the Plackett-Burman design results, ionic strength of the sample solutions, the aspiration/dispersion cycles, and the rate and time of centrifuge did not show significant effects on the extraction of morin and quercetin. The optimized conditions of extraction were as follows; the volume of the extraction solvent of 83.6 ?L, pH of 4.34 for the sample, and 1-undecanol as extraction solvent. Under these conditions, the linear calibration curve was in the ranges of 1-1000 ng/mL and 0.5-1000 ng/mL for morin and quercetin, respectively, with the determination coefficient values above 0.99. The limit of detection of morin and quercetin was 0.3 and 0.2 ng/mL, respectively. The extraction recoveries for 10 ng/mL of morin and quercetin were 98.9% and 96.5%, respectively; while, relative standard deviations (n = 3) were lower than 3.2%.A number of important fused heterocyclic systems have been prepared by the reaction of 4-((3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-diazenyl)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)-benzenesulfonamide with some bifunctional nucleophiles such as ethyl acetoacetate, acetylacetone or arylidenemalonononitrile derivatives to obtain pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were determined based on their IR, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectroscopic data. Most of the compounds produced showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity.Ruthenium oxide hexacyanoferrate (RuOHCF) film was electrochemically deposited on to a glassy carbon (GC) surfaceusing consecutive cyclic voltammetry as a facile and green synthetic strategy. The electrochemical behaviour and electrocatalytic properties of the modified electrode Ru?HCF/GC were evaluated with regards to electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide and iodate in a strong acidic medium (pHs 1.0-2.0) by using different electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry and amperometry at a constant potential. Electrochemical studies indicated that Ru?HCF/GC possess a high catalytic activity in both studied reactions, fast response and good reproducibility of the current signal. The Ru?HCF/GC exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic behaviour compared with other modified electrodes reported before. The simple and reproducible procedure for electrode fabrication, the wide linear range, anti-interference performance and long-time stability of the Ru?HCF/GC make it a promising sensing material for practical quantitative determination of hydrogen peroxide and iodate.
